Lady Brenda . Wowww . She was my head nurse. OB/ GYN @ EAMC Fort Gordon. What a wonderful person, leader , and kept our department organized . This lady here ,had a beautiful heart . She helped everybody that she could , whether stranger , co-worker, family, friends and her church . I remember when I was really ill at work . I couldn't walk due to herniated discs and pain . We left my car at work . She drove me home ( my husband had passed away) and told me if you need anything , call her . My my my . I didn't want to bother her , because she was doing so much already ( taking care of her mom and sister) . She would call to check up on me and so many other things . She loved her staff of co- workers and it showed. Very dedicated to her family and career. Such an amazing cook as well , sharing her many dishes doing the holidays seasons and celebrations at work and church functions ... I remember , she would call me into her office to sing her a couple of gospel hymns. Sometimes , she would have company . One of the Army Officers. For just a few moments we would have a up lifting time Praising the Almighty God at work , because our job was so demanding and we desired to lift the morale of the co- workers as well encouraging our patients( and so much more) . I will , always be grateful for the opportunity , that God allowed me to experience with HIS beloved saint , Lady Brenda. She was such a joy . A true woman of God . My condolences to her husband,childrens , and family. Minister Pamela Hudson.

I love you Mrs. Payne

To Mr. Payne and family, I was deeply shocked and saddened in hearing about the passing of your wife.
I reflect back on conversations we had in the office, how you would joke on the phone with your wife and would always end your conversations with three words, you know what they were.
Cherish the life time memories, moments and conversations that you and Mrs. Payne shared with one another.
I remember when my husband was sick and you and Mrs. Payne was right there with spiritual words and support for him as well as myself. When ever Mrs. Payne and I saw or talked to one another she always had a smile!
Mrs. Payne now is with her Lord and in a better place, no more suffering and no more pain. Words cannot ease what you and your family are going thru at this moment, but believe me with your spiritual faith and knowing that our Lord and Savior makes no mistakes, crying may last for a moment and it will, oh but joy and peace will be restored unto you and your family.
My prayer is that God will give you and your family strength and healing power to go threw this your season. May God be a shield of protection for you and the family and hold you up on all sides.
Your co-worker Ruby Hines, Fort Gordon.
